The Morning X with Barnes & Leslie

The Morning X concludes their emotional interview with Luke Jensen, who shares a heart-wrenching audio recording from inside his brother Murphy’s hospital room. As a legendary 99X artist performs a private concert over FaceTime, the sound of an acoustic guitar is suddenly joined by the beeping of heart monitors as Murphy—who had been completely unresponsive—begins to do the impossible. Finally, they listened in awe as the doctors realized that a rock star's voice had just provided the critical sign of life they were praying for. This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.

The Morning X continues their emotional conversation with French Open Champion Luke Jensen, who details the harrowing moment his brother Murphy collapsed mid-match at a resort in Colorado Springs. Luke reveals why he initially thought the fall was a joke between brothers, the miraculous coincidence regarding a piece of medical equipment he had been shown just 24 hours prior, and the terrifying reality of his brother flat-lining five separate times. Finally, the room is left speechless as Luke prepares to share a recording of a legendary 99X artist singing to Murphy over FaceTime while he lay in a coma.

The Morning X welcomes Queen for the final report of the year, offering expensive advice for anyone who hates their family and just wants to escape to a hotel brunch. Queen takes credit for the mysterious cancellation of a suburban Nutcracker production, while they argue over whether a visiting Mexican circus is unique or just the "same tricks" with different costumes. Finally, a hockey update goes off the rails with the mention of the "Savannah Butt Pirates", and they debate the city's decision to replace a traditional New Year's Eve event with a $100,000 drone show.

The Morning X marks a major milestone as Queen joins the show with a full lineup, including Jimmy, for the first time in three years. Crash kicks off the reunion by dropping a bombshell about his upcoming marriage. The celebration turns into a roast as Crash tries to use a sports analogy to justify his marital track record. Finally, Barnes puts Queen’s intuition to the test with a hilarious game of "Gay or Straight," leading to verdicts on why one name is suspicious while another is safe, and which common name suggests the person is definitely wearing "ass chaps."
